Creative Criminals

Remember the Coca-Cola happiness machine? Well this new stunt is a good extension of this campaign. A genuine happiness truck drives through the street of Rio De Janeiro in Brazil. Where will the happiness strike next?

The new Coca Cola Zero commercial from Dahaf-1, Tel Aviv unites elements of all things exciting: combining free-running anticipation to an exurberant outcome, alongside some brilliant visual effects that engage the viewer into an ‘urban’ dream.

Here were two ads of Coca-Cola aired during the ‘walhalla of advertising’, the Superbowl. The commercials are not at all alike, two completely different stories are presented..
Check out the second one after the jump!

This reminds us of the classic battle between Audi and BMW. In this case Coca-Cola bought a shop window next to a Starbucks. The poster in the window reads “Who has time to stand in line for a latte?”. Not sure if Starbucks is a direct competitor for Diet Coke, but is sure is a nice example of smart media buying.

Meet the Warrens, a family trying (for the 88th) time to create the Coca-Cola Jingle in a very special way.. Is this real or is it something made by Coca-Cola itself? Doesn’t matter, it’s nice to watch..

Today we present you something completely different. When advertisers put out billboards there are also some risks involved with it. People can alter them, some call it vandalism others call it street art. The last few years this new art form popped out on streets all over the world. One of the most influencing artists in this world is without a doubt Banksy. The Londoner has been inspiring artists all over the world. In this example you can see how street art can influence outdoor advertising. An artist called Monotremu glued a message on this billboard resembling a warning on a cigarette package. The translation says: “Santa Claus Doesn’t Exist”. The message was probably removed after a couple of hours, but the pictures are timeless.

Remember this campaign from TVN Channel? It’s the channel that promotes its shorter commercial breaks. This series of prints is even better than the previous one.

The newest Coca-Cola Christmas commercial “Snow Globes” features the music of Train, and the song might just to become popular this holiday season “Shake Up Christmas”. The TV Commercial will air on 21 of November.

The Pepsi Max driver and the Coke Zero driver meet once again–this time at a supercenter. The battle for the #1 zero-calorie soda begins as each driver attempts to build the most impressive display. A special appearance from the legendary Snoop Dogg makes it clear which cola is king.

Some nice billboards designed for Coca Cola, the straws from the bottles are used in situations outside of the billboard. Can we call this ‘thinking outside the box’?

Edit: Rindert posted a similar ad back in 2009. It’s from the same agency, so probably these are new pictures of the campaign back then. Or maybe they’ve continued it with new ideas this year?
